dash switch blanks

do the dash push button switchs and/or blanks pop right out? i have one blank on my trd sport i'd like to fill w/another fog light switch eventually to be hooked up to aftermarket lights of some sort.

 

yes they do. i haven't figured out how to get the ones just below the vent out yet. but the second row, you just take out the coin tray and pop them out.

 

Yes they just pop out Easy if you pull out the little change holder thing below then reach behind and push it out.

 

yea the blank i want to pop out is the top row under the vent...all mine are full in the second row above the coin tray.

 

They come out kind of hard if you're not pushing them from behind. If you use a little screwdriver to pry them out, be careful not to ding the dash alongside the blank.

 

or drill a small hole in it insert an L shape allen key and pop it out, you'll be replacing it with a switch anyways.

 

I just put a screw part way in the middle one then pulled it out. From there you can get to the other two.

 

good ideas...thats going to be the plan of action. does anyone know the part number for the fog light switch?

 

I know I'm an idiot but I'm gona ask anyway. What is the point of the fog light on anytime, which is what the fog light switch is for, I guess. So why do you want the fog lights on anytime ?

 

if u flip your high beams, the fogs will turn off

and

you can turn on your fogs anytime

 

Do you guys know where to get these blank inserts from? I'm missing one

 

It becomes a daytime running light, which is safer. Some people doubt that, but I'm in the believer's club. Anything that might prevent some idiot from hitting me is a good thing.

 

Thanks.

 

Thanks.

 

The dealer calls them "spare switch hole covers", thats the only place I know that you can get them. Around $4-5ish. Unless you find one for sale in the classified section here, usually people are looking to buy them though.

 

Use something with plastic on the end. Less chance of bending the plastic(the blank) when it's plastic on plastic, instead of metal on plastic.

 

To get the top row out, pop one of the bottom row switches or blanks out by reaching though the coin tray opening, then reach through the switch hole(s) and pop one out up top. Then pop the others out through that hole if needed. If you are built like a gorrila with sausage fingers this might not work for you though.

 

digging up an old thread, what are the blanks under the a/c control called or labeled.
I've been on toyota DIY parts search and its number 17 i think but doesnt list. I tried the usb mod and boogered it up pretty bad

 

think i finally found it: 55539b

 

This is the part number I found:

$16 55539-AE010-C0 Toyota Genuine Spare Switch Hole Cover

55539-AE010-C0

I just ordered it. I want to relocate my usb/aux port to inside my center console and plug the hole I remove it from.
